On the 30th day of their protest, the farmers wrote their demands in their bare body to get what they want.

WHY ARE THESE FARMERS PROTESTING

A month ago around, 84 farmers came to the Capital, all the way from Tamil Nadu to voice their demands, which included a drought relief fund of Rs 40,000 crore, better support for their produce and a loan waiver for peasants in Tamil Nadu.

Many protesting farmers fell sick as they couldn't adjust to the weather conditions and food. When some of them had to return, a new set of farmers kept filling the space to keep the agitation going.

The man who led the agitation on day 1 though, is still leading today. Ayyakanu who has been the face of the protest is still sleeping in a tent at Jantar Mantar as he's been doing for 30 days. "I met Pon Radhakrishnan yesterday and he said he will ensure all our demands our met. I said I need a written assurance from Prime Minister" said Ayyakannu

"I met AIADMK leader and deputy speaker Thambidurai this morning he too has extended his support. Tried meeting Ghulam Nabi Azad but he was busy," he said.
